July is coming to an end!

Today is Thursday, July 30th! It is the second last day of the month. It is hard to believe that our summer is almost half over!!! Where has the time gone? It seems to me like July was just beginning.

Well, I hope it has been a great July for you! In Barcelona, it has been a very hot month with record temperatures. We have had plenty of that wonderful mediterranean sun!

If you are going to be on a beach for August, then I hope these temperatures continue for you! If you are not able to get to a beach, then I hope the sun continues but that the temperatures let up a little.

What are your plans for August?
What are you going to do?
Where are you going to go?
Who are you going to visit?

I am going to be on a plane to Canada on Friday morning,
I am going to celebrate the August 1st holiday in Canada with my family. I am very happy about that!

Well, it is late, so I am going to close for now. I hope you are going to have a wonderful end of the month and a very wonderful August!

I am going to write more on August 1st. I´ll tell you about how the holiday went in Canada!

Bye for now!
Theresa

Are you going to have some free time?

I hope you are going to have some free time! I am!
I hope you are going to travel? I am. I´m going to Canada.
I hope you are going to visit family. I am. I´m going to visit my family in Canada.

So write me and tell me what you are going to do during the month of August!

Welcome to our English Language Coaching Blog!

Welcome!

On this blog, I will send you information you can read, web sites you can visit, language activities you can work on and short video clips you can watch and review. Every day I will post an entry for you to consult at your leisure, whenever and wherever it is convenient for you!

Feel free to write me back! Every time you write me back you are strengthening your communication skills In English!!! :-)

Here is a first little video clip from youtube that I am going to post. I chose this clip because it is endearing. I also chose this clip because of the power of suggestion. Today it will reach 35 degrees in Barcelona... very, very hot for a cold-loving, Canadian like me! This video clip made me feel much fresher and cooler when I watched it! I hope it does the same for you!
